Does F1(from F2) still have $5000 US-China Treaty benefits?

I changed my status from F2 to F1 and I was in my OPT last year. Can I claim US-China Treaty benefit in my 2004 tax return form?

No. You can't claim that treaty which targets the group of students who received their F1 visa originated from China. If you changed your status from F2 to F1, not having a F1 visa, you cannot claim that treaty. If you changed your status from F2 to F1, and got a F1 visa from a third country, such as Mexico, or Canada, you still cannot claim the treaty. Only if you went back to China and got a F1 visa, you can claim that treaty.

No. See my post above. You must have F1 visa issued in China to get this treat work on you. Otherwise, no way. You can claim that treaty and you can take the chance that you will not be caught by IRS. But once you are audit by IRS, you are done here.

No.

if you first came to the states as f2 you can't claim the $5000 even you transfer to f1 later.
